Nagios as Cron (fwd)

Now that is an idea; have the script update the file at a successful 
completion and have a plugin that verifies that the file has been updated 
properly in the correct timeframe. The script could even write out an 
error message there if it fails in place of the timestamp which the plugin 
could return.

Thanks,
